Did you know that secondhand smoke is harmful to both children and adults?

During National Cancer Prevention Month, it's important to highlight the dangers of secondhand smoke exposure. Smoking can increase the risk of lung cancer, respiratory issues, and other serious health conditions.

Children are more vulnerable, because their lungs are still developing.

Here are a few ways to help protect your child:
1. Do not allow smoking indoors or around your children.
2. Create a smoke-free home and vehicle.
3. Be mindful of smoking in public places.
4. If you do smoke, change your clothes and wash your hands before you are around others.

If you or someone you love need assistance in quitting, please call us today!

Asthma is the most common chronic condition in children with approximately 4.8 million children living with a diagnosis.

Winter can be a challenging season for kids with asthma. Cold, dry air and indoor allergens like dust can trigger asthma exacerbations, leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

It's important that your child has a proper asthma management plan in place, which includes using medications as prescribed, avoiding triggers, and keeping indoor air clean.

Is your child due for an asthma follow-up?

We recommend an asthma check up every three to six months. Call us today to schedule an appointment to have your child’s asthma assessed.

January is National Thyroid Awareness Month.

A wellness visit is an opportunity to assess your thyroid. While thyroid disorders are more common in adults, they can affect kids too, leading to issues like growth delays, cancer, or fatigue.

Regular check-ups allow providers to detect early signs of thyroid problems, ensuring you stay healthy and thriving.

Babies can be very noisy when breathing. So, how do you know what is abnormal?

If your baby has noisy breathing, it can be concerning, but not all sounds are a cause for alarm. Wheezing, often a high-pitched whistling sound, can indicate that your baby’s airways are narrowed, typically due to conditions like reactive airway disease or bronchiolitis. Sometimes wheezing is not audible by the naked ear so you should be familiar with signs of respiratory distress such as your child’s neck or area around the rib cage sucking inward or nostrils flaring outward.

Stridor, on the other hand, is a harsh, raspy sound often heard when your baby inhales, which can be caused by an obstruction in the upper airways (most common illness to cause this is croup). Also, some infants are born with a condition called laryngomalacia that can cause stridor days or weeks after birth. This condition is most of the time benign and the infant will outgrow.

If you're unsure about the sound your baby is making or if their breathing becomes labored, always consult your provider!

Cold weather often means dry, itchy skin for kiddos!

Winter skincare starts with simple steps, such as daily moisturizing, gentle unscented soaps, and keeping baths short and warm instead of hot. Don’t forget lip balm and sunscreen - even in winter, the sun can be harsh. Keeping a humidifier in your child’s bedroom can also help keep their skin hydrated as well.

If your child struggles with eczema or severe dry skin in the winter, call our office so we can help you find the right treatment and comfort plan.

January is Blood Donor Month!!

There are still ways to support the blood supply even if you’re not able to donate:
• Share information about local blood drives
• Volunteer at donation centers
• Encourage eligible adults in your life to donate
• Help raise awareness

Helpful resources:
• American Red Cross
• Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB) — they provide education on why blood donation matters
• You can also check your local hospital blood centers - their websites or social media should for drive schedules

Any effort helps save lives and supports families in our community ❤️♥️

Spit-up can be common in babies, but reflux can sometimes cause more than just a laundry problem.

In babies, you may see frequent spit-ups, irritability after feeds, arching of their back, or trouble gaining weight. In toddlers, reflux can show as a chronic cough, discomfort in their chest, or difficulty eating.

If you’re concerned your baby’s spit-up is more than normal, give us a call so we can help determine if reflux is the cause and discuss ways to manage it.

It’s common for newborns to have sticky eyelids, crusting, or temporarily closed eyes due to blocked tear ducts or minor irritation.

We recommend to gently wipe away discharge with a clean, damp cloth. Signs to look out for an infection, may include persistent swelling, redness, pus, or inability to open the eye.

If you notice any of these symptoms, or if your baby seems uncomfortable - please reach out to us because early evaluation can prevent complications.

Heavy Metal Testing:

We often hear from parents who are curious or concerned about heavy metals testing for their children. Whether it’s due to a specific health worry or just wanting peace of mind, this is a topic worth digging into.

What Are Heavy Metals and Why Do They Matter?

Heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, aluminum, and cadmium occur naturally in the environment. However, in high amounts, they can be harmful—especially for developing brains and bodies. Certain heavy metals, like lead, have no safe level of exposure in children.

Reasons why you may ask for testing:
1. Developmental or Behavioral Concerns
2. Known or Suspected Environmental Exposures
3. Chronic, Unexplained Symptoms
4. Some families simply want a baseline test, even if their child is healthy!
